Adobe Design is looking for an AI native, product-minded design leader to join our Adobe Design team to lead design for Firefly. This role will define the future of AI-powered creativity for creatives and creators. Firefly operates in one of the most dynamic and competitive spaces in technology. New generative AI capabilities reach market daily. Our differentiation comes from being commercially safe, agnostic of models and deeply integrated, workflow-level experiences that make AI genuinely useful inside the tools that creatives and creators rely on.
This is not a role for someone who leads from behind the team. We are looking for a builder who leads builders - a hands-on strategic leader who combines product intuition, design craft, competitive fluency, and growth accountability to move Firefly’s experience forward with speed and conviction. You will own experience outcomes, not just design outputs.
This is a unique opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, 0-to-1 product environment and is energized by the challenge of shipping AI-native products at scale - pushing the boundaries of what’s possible while delivering measurable business impact.
You are an experienced leader with a track record of building and shipping AI-native consumer grade products, preferably catering to creative markets. Your lead product thinking from the design seat. You bring a strong point of view to every room you enter, grounded in deep understanding of user behavior, competitive dynamics, and understand business mechanics. You know how to translate business goals into design strategy and design strategy into shipped products. You know how to influence business goals that you don’t own.
You are a steadying force in ambiguity. When market dynamics shifts and priorities evolve, you can contextualize this for the organization so your team stays focused and energized. You earn trust across functions through the quality of your judgment, showing prototypes of ideas that work, and follow-through on commitments.
You are driven by action and results. You take full ownership of your responsibilities and embody an entrepreneurial spirit that learns from failure and moves forward.
